WANNING, Hainan Island, China (Thursday, November 21, 2013) – The Swatch Girls Pro China hosted by Wanning has been called on again with clean long lefts on offer for the world’s best female longboarders. Competition is set to intensify as the field of 36 surfers will today be redacted to just eight Quarterfinalists in the hunt for the ASP Women’s World Longboard Title.

“The surf is still really good so we started earlier today to try and get the most out of it,” said Swatch Girls Pro Contest Director Dane Jordan. “We ran a full day yesterday and the surf was really good all day, and if it’s like that again today we could be down to just eight Quarterfinalists by day’s end.”
